Ok. I'm getting your point now. All good basketball players are explosive and I can agree with that I suppose. When I think of an explosive player, it's the 4 or 5 guys on the floor that can do things all of the other guys can't.

For the record, the only thing I ever said about Mays is that he is slow for an SEC guard, which is true. That only re-enforces why he is my 2nd favorite player on the team behind Waters. It just shows how hard he works and how smart he is when he gets to the rim so often.

I worked for southeastern b-ball. We literally had 5 guys every year who were as explosive and could dunk as good as mays. There are things like size and smarts that seperare mays from those players. You literally have never been to a college practice before. I’ve watched so many people get dunked on. As lunitik said angles, leverage, playing against taller slower players instead of PG all contribute to him being able to get to the rim. Also the fact that we have bigs who can shoot who space the floor for him. There is a lot to take into account but mays is not explosive. He is smooth
